This evening, I went to the screening of Ben Hur​, directed by Timur Bekmambetov. It's the fifth film adaptation of the 1880 novel, Ben Hur. I truly enjoyed it. This film reminds us about a desire for revenge being turned into redemption. Redemption proves a greater purpose and expression of love, which we all truly need. Just like Jesus Christ, the ultimate Redeemer... (Ephesians 1:7 "In (Jesus Christ) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace."

Today, I had the pleasure to complete months of voice-over training with Bryant Falk and Bruce Kronenberg with Abacus Entertainment. They teach so much about using your voice, bringing in yourself, and marketing your talent. I'm so grateful for their truth, the environment they create and the help they provide in making me a better Voice-over artists. I'm ready to encounter more voice-over opportunities with this training!

In 1995, I realized it was time to get serious about my health and my food intake. I quit eating meat, butter, which is difficult being southern, and I even took chocolate out of the cabinets. Whooh! Now, I'm much healthier and the most fit I have ever been since 1995, even if I have a chocolate milk shake sometimes. When I moved into NYC in 2001, I became a member of a gym and have not stopped going. I have to give a shout out to the instructors at New York Sports Club who have really pushed me, inspired me, made me sweat and also hurt a day or so after their class! Body Conditioning, Spinning, Urban Zumba, Abs....thank you and don't let me slack! :)

Tonight, I had the pleasure of completing a television technique class with Rob Decina, an Emmy nominated casting director in NYC. His book, The Art of Auditioning, is awesome. I really like his technique. I relate to it. I grasp it. I'm so grateful to discover it and to learn from an Emmy nominated casting director who truly, I feel, wants to help actors be what they can be. I may have been better in my last class than tonight's class, which is disappointing. However, I don't mind the challenge of being better, learning more and, God willing, one day having the opportunity to be a co-star or guest star on a network television show.

Today, I had another voice-over audition that was a lot of fun. Recently, I've decided to focus on voice-overs. They give me another avenue with my acting I truly enjoy. Plus, they help the financial income of a working hard, fulfilling dreams actress. :)

By the grace and kindness of a leader of MasterMedia, a Christian organization of believers in the media industry, I have a recording system in my home. I'm truly grateful because it has allowed me to book some voice-over jobs on my own. This doesn't discredit my need and appreciation of my agents submitting me for auditions, like today.

Every actor has many jobs to pursue his/her career and still put food on the table. I have about 5 "pay-the-bills," that's my definition of them, jobs. Almost exactly 5 months ago, November 25, 2015, I started a new "pay-the-bills" job at an office. I've never had a Monday-Friday, corporate, 8am, 5 days a week job in my life. I say that with gratitude. However, today, I have come to experience the Administrative Professionals Holiday.

I truly understand why this is a holiday. Admins and office assistants really "bust some moves" in an office. I've discovered Microsoft Office/Word/Excel/Outlook, Concur, Fed-Ed labels, Office Depot, binding and printing documents, stocking kitchens with coffee, milk, snacks, etc. and more beyond what one could ever imagine. Sometimes, I do plumbing, printer maintenance, espresso machine or water dispenser "surgery" and garbage recycling. The latter jobs were accidentally missing from my job description, but I don't complain. I'm thankful to get paid every week, experience working with people nowhere near the entertainment world and still being able to pursue my career of acting. It's actually a huge answer to prayer and blessing. Here's a shout out to all the Admins on this day!
